Do you know what not to share online?

Asked by ETpro (34605points) September 15th, 2010

This is regarding the article ’‘6 Things You Should Never Reveal on Facebook’’ warns about what not to share on Facebook, and why not to share it.

The same prohibitions that apply to Facebook.com apply here and on other online Social Media as well, of course. Nosy employers, insurance companies, credit agencies, identity thrives and law enforcement all know how to use the Google. So don’t post information online, even in bits and pieces here and there, that any of them could compile to hurt you. Failure to follow safe specs suggestions (revealing too many personal specifications) can result in the loss of a job, auto or health insurance being hiked sky high or even your policy being canceled, identity theft and even criminal prosecution.

It’s fun to be open and honest in what seems to be a setting where you are anonymous. But be aware that what happens online stays online—and it could come back to haunt you. When a dedicated net-savvy sleuth is determined to figure out who you are and follow you online, your anonymity might be easier to crack than you think. Anyone with additional suggestions for safe specs feel free to add your input.
